INTRODUCTION 


The  Hall  of  History  of  North  Carolina  was  first 
established  by  Fred  A.  Olds,  as  the  director,  in  the 
west  room  of  the  State  Museum,  December  15,  1902. 
The  installation,  of  objects  began  that  day.  Mr.  Olds- 
began  the  collection  twenty  years  before.  Knowing 
this  fact,  Governor  Alfred  M.  Scales  in  1885  wrote  a 
letter  specially  commending  this  work,  saying  that  he 
hoped  it  would  bring  about  the  keeping  of  North  Caro- 
lina relics  in  the  State  and  prevent  their  dispersion 
in  other  parts  of  the  country. 

The  State  Department  of  Agriculture  provided  a 
room  for  the  historical  collection,  and  the  title  "Hall 
of  History"  was  given  it  by  the  director.  The  result 
of  providing  such  a  place  was  information  as  to  the 
location  of  great  numbers  of  objects.  Visits  were  made 
to  about  fifty  counties  in  a  search  for  others.  In  ten 
years  the  hall  was  full,  thousands  of  objects  having 
been  gathered,  some  coming  from  other  States  and  all 
having  historical  value  and  forming  a  part  of  a  conj 
nected  story.  Photographs  were  taken  and  used  in 
illustrating  the  history  of  North  Carolina.  Special 
studies  were  made  of  the  life  of  the  Cherokee  and 
Croatan  Indians.  Pictures  were  made  of  many  his- 
toric buildings  and  scenes.  Many  valuable  gifts  were 
made  and  a  generous  spirit  was  shown  by  owners  of 
relics  in  giving  or  lending  these  or  allowing  photo- 
graphs or  sketches  to  be  made  of  them. 

The  Hall  of  History  remained  in  the  Agricultural 
Building  until  1914,  when  it  was  moved  to  its  present 
quarters  in  the  State  Administration  Building.  This 
building  is  a  fireproof  structure  erected  at  a  cost  of 
$250,000  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  chapter 


911439

63,  Public  Law*  of  North  Carolina,  1911,  for  the  pur- 
pose of  housing  the  State's  libraries,  archives,  histori- 
eai  (Elections  and  relics.  On  the  18th  of  February, 
1914,  the  removal  of  objects  from  the  old  Hall  of  His- 
tory was  begun.  Every  object  was  carefully  pre- 
pared for  transportation  and  not  one  was  lost,  the 
labels  being  attached  to  each,  so  as  to  avoid  any  con- 
fusion. The  work  of  installation  in  the  new  hall 
began  February  20th  and  was  pressed  day  and  night 
until  it  was  finished  in  the  west  hall  March  12th. 
The  work  progressed  so  rapidly  that  this  hall  was 
opened  to  the  public  March  14th. 

The  portraits  and  other  pictures  in  the  old  State 
Library  were  turned  over  to  the  director  of  the  Hall 
of  History  upon  the  removal  of  the  library  to  the  new 
building.  It  was  found  that  many  of  these  were  not 
suitable  for  use  in  the  historical  collection,  so  a  study 
was  made  as  to  the  proper  place  for  all  such  pictures, 
which  were  duly  distributed  in  the  Supreme  Court 
section  of  the  building,  the  Confederate  Soldiers' 
Home  and  the  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College. 
With  these  went  some  of  the  pictures  from  the  old 
Hall  of  History  which  were  the  private  property  of 
the  director,  a  number  of  the  latter  being  placed  in 
the  Raleigh  High  School  auditorium  and  class-rooms. 

On  the  17th  of  March  a  conference  was  held  with 
the  Attorney-General  as  to  the  legality  and  advisa- 
bility of  opening  the  Hall  of  History  to  the  public  on 
Sunday  afternoons.  He  gave  his  hearty  approval  to 
the  plan,  and  so  did  Governor  Craig,  the  head  of  the 
State  board  of  public  buildings  and  grounds,  who 
commended  the  idea. 

The  Hall  of  History  was  opened  on  the  afternoon 
of  Sunday,  March  22d,  it  being  decided  that  it  should 
be  opened  each  Sunday  between  the  hours  of  3  and  5 


INTRODUCTION.  5 

o'clock.  The  fact  that  it  would  be  opened  was  an- 
nounced in  the  newspapers  and  large  cards  were 
placed  on  the  outer  doors  of  the  building.  This  was 
the  first  public  institution  in  North  Carolina  opened  to 
the  public  on  Sunday,  and  among  the  visitors  the 
first  day  were  a  number  who  said  they  had  not  hereto- 
fore been  able  to  see  the  collection  because  of  the 
steady  work  of  the  week  days.  They  expressed  their 
pleasure  at  being  participants  in  such  an  event. 

On  the  30th  of  March  the  compilation  of  a  cata- 
logue of  all  the  objects  in  the  west  Hall  of  History 
was  completed.  The  announcement  was  made  that 
lectures  on  the  historical  collection  would  be  delivered 
at  any  time  desired,  in  the  afternoons  or  evenings, 
and  various  organizations  have  taken  advantage  of 
this  opportunity.  History  classes  from  the  several 
colleges  and  schools  in  the  city  have  also  paid  such 
visits  and  taken  notes  of  the  lectures  delivered  by 
the  director. 

In  1912  a  visit  was  made  to  Murphy  by  the  director 
of  the  Hall  of  History,  particularly  to  see  the  collec- 
tion of  Indian,  relics,  the  property  of  Dr.  S.  C;  Heigh- 
way.  On  the  2d  of  May,  1914,  correspondence  was 
begun  with  him  in  regard  to  the  placing  of  this  col- 
lection in  the  Hall  of  History,  which  has  resulted  in 
his  agreeing  to  bring  the  collection  to  Raleigh  and 
personally  install  it  in  the  Hall. 

The  collection  in  the  Hall  of  History  is  rich  in  ob- 
jects illustrating  the  War  Between  the  States,  notably 
flags  and  uniforms,  more  than  40  of  the  North  Caro- 
lina regiments  being  represented  by  their  flags,  and 
the  uniforms  being  those  of  officers  of  every  rank 
from  lieutenant-general  and  of  privates. 

Correspondence  has  been  carried  on  w^ith  a  view  to 
bringing  in  every  flag  carried  by  North  Carolina  Con-

federate  troops.  Two  of  these  flags  have  in  past 
years  been  placed  in  the  collection  at  Richmond.  The 
opening  of  the  old  Hall  of  History  twelve  years  ago 
stopped  the  sending  of  objects  of  this  character  out- 
side of  the  State.  As  the  war  recedes  there  is  .greater 
and  greater  loss  of  such  objects  if  kept  in  private 
hands  or  in  the  custody  of  minor  organizations,  and 
hence  the  appeal  has  been  made  for  the  placing  of 
them  in  the  secure  quarters  offered  by  the  Hall  of 
History,  where  danger  of  fire  is  eliminated,  where 
moth  and  rust  do  not  corrupt  and  where  thieves  do 
not  break  through  and  steal.
